“Grief is love turned into an
eternal missing” - Lupton
Do I even know
how to access my blog anymore…? It’s definitely been way to long since the last
time I read a book. I think that life can be explained just by looking at this
blog – as time passed the less book reviews, not because I’ve grown lazy, but
because I feel like I’ve lost the time to read. But with some of my tests over,
I gave myself a quick break before I have to get back to my studies. Needless
to say, I devoured two books in two days and will hopefully read another one
today. Enough about me.
Rosamund Lupton’s
Sister, is a thriller (well at least for my standards, as I am not really used
to scary things) and almost detective fiction. It follows Beatrice’s journey as
she looks for her missing sister. When the police end the case, Beatrice is
unsatisfied with the verdict. It becomes all up to Beatrice to uncover the truth.
She doesn’t just uncover the mystery but also learns about herself and her
relationships.
Maybe it’s the
fact that I hadn’t read a book for a long time, or that someone left this book
on their fence for someone to take it for free or just simply because I always
get to attached to novels, but I absolutely loved it! The language was simple
and it was quite easy to read. The only hard part was figuring out when the
settings switched - when Beatrice was talking to the detective or talking to
her sister through the letter. But this form is perfect for the novel when you
get to the end and learn the truth about this ‘letter’. I didn’t start reading
expecting much but by the end I was screaming out loud at the plot twists.
